Harissa Marinated Chicken
A spicy marinade for your chicken that is simple and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken Breast cubed
- 2 tablespoon Harissa
- ½ Lemon juiced
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Cumin
- ¼ teaspoon Oregano
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except the chicken into a bowl. Mix until combined to create the marinade.
- Put the cubed chicken into a large ziplock bag and add the marinade. Refrigerate the chicken and let marinade for up to two hours.
- Heat the grill or pan to medium heat depending on how you want to cook the chicken.
- Add the chicken to the grill, being sure to use non-stick spray, and cook on each side for about 4 minutes. If you are using the pan, cook the chicken about 4 minutes each side. When the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F it is finished.
- Serve over your favorite veggies and rice or alongside your favorite side dish.
Notes
- If you don't want it as spicy, decrease the amount of harissa and increase olive oil and lemon juice.
- Serve this chicken on its own or over some veggies and rice.
- This marinade would go great on chicken wings and thighs too!
- In this bowl I use Cava Tzatziki, that I found at Whole Foods. Like I mentioned Tzatziki can be a really nice balance for the spice.
